A process-oriented life-cycle assessment (LCA) model for environmental and resource-related technologies (EASETECH)

Food Polymeric Packaging Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

  Food packaging is used to maintain the safety and quality of food during distribution and storage and to protect them from adverse internal and external conditions, such as water vapor, spoilage due to microorganisms, moisture, light, and dust. In this regard, lots of research studies have been done to increase shelf life, safety, and quality to create suitable physico...

Environmental Assessment of Solid Waste Landfilling in a Life Cycle Perspective (LCA model EASEWASTE)

study of environmental impacts for potato agroecosystems of iran by using life cycle assessment (lca) methodology

life cycle assessment (lca) had proven to be an appropriate assessment tool for analysis of agri-food products by identifying, quantifying and evaluating the resources consumed and emissions released into the environment. this study was performed for evaluation the environmental impacts of potato agroecosystems based on nitrogen levels by using lca methodology. tuber yield mean during 1999-2013...

Comparison of simplified environmental assessments versus full life cycle assessment (LCA) for the electronics designer

Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are evolving as the most advanced method for comparing the environmental effects of products. In the complex field of electronic and microelectronic components a lot of effort has to be invested in data gathering, before serious assessments can be attempted. Today it is still not possible for an average company to include environmental optimization by LCA in the tim...

Use of the life-cycle assessment (LCA) toolbox for an environmental evaluation of production processes*

Green chemistry not only emphasizes the central production process of the “green” chemical, but it ultimately requires a life-cycle conceptual approach for each chemical product. A life-cycle conceptual approach comprises the consideration of all stages along the life cycle of a chemical (i.e., raw material extraction, pre-production, production, use, recycling, and disposal) as well as the con...
